Global favourite video-sharing platform to stream NFL game for the first time. Here, have a quick peek
Held at the iconic Corinthians Arena home turf for Brazilian soccer powerhouse SC Corinthians, this is the first time the NFL will open its season with a game played in South America. The game will be available completely free to fans worldwide on YouTube. While YouTube already holds the rights to the NFL's Sunday Ticket, a subscription service that lets fans watch out-of-market Sunday afternoon games, this Brazil showdown will be YouTube's first time streaming a regular-season NFL game live to a global audience for free. However, the broadcast won't be accessible in a few countries, including Canada. The game will also be aired on local television in the home markets of both teams.

'We are excited to expand our relationship with YouTube to bring this year's Brazil game to a worldwide audience,' said Hans Schroeder, the NFL's executive vice president of media distribution, in a press briefing. 'YouTube and YouTube TV have been incredible partners of the NFL for several years and boast an immense global reach, and we look forward to Week 1 in São Paulo.' The global video-sharing platform has also signed a multi-year deal to stream the annual Super Bowl Flag Football game.

YouTube will stream NFL Week 1 game in Brazil for free
YouTube will stream the National Football League's Week 1 game on Sept. 5 for free, the first time the dominant streaming platform has ever broadcast a live NFL game in its entirety. The game, which Front Office Sports first reported will be between the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers, will take place in Sao Paulo, Brazil. 'Last year, people spent over 350 million hours watching official NFL content on YouTube, so it's both fitting and thrilling to continue to build our relationship with our partners at the NFL,' YouTube Chief Business Officer Mary Ellen Coe said in a statement. 'Streaming the Friday night game to fans for free around the world will mark YouTube's first time as a live NFL broadcaster — and we'll do it in a way that only YouTube can, with an interactive viewing experience and creators right at the center of the experience.' The game will be available to all YouTube and YouTube TV users globally, except in Canada and certain other countries, and locally on broadcast television in the media markets of the participating teams, YouTube said in a statement. YouTube is the most-watched streaming platform in the U.S., consisting of 12% of all viewership for March, according to Nielsen. The NFL has an existing deal with YouTube TV for Sunday Ticket, the league's out-of-market package of games. Those games require a subscription — either $480 per year without YouTube TV or $378 per year for YouTube TV subscribers. YouTube TV is a collection of linear TV networks that approximates a standard cable bundle. The full 2025 NFL schedule will be released Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
